i know this has been discussed in some thread but i just cant find it and i don't know if this has been solved.

so here's the problem: i don't know if this is related to galaxo or not, but when i connect the phone to my cars bluetooth i keep getting these random android.phone crashes. sometimes the bluetooth just doesn't work or i can't call anyone until i reboot the phone. this is annoying me because instead of driving i need to mess with the phone which drives me nuts..

any ideas?
 
I find the following...

If bluetooth is on at phone boot, it does not connect with my headset. If I've turned it on since boot then its OK. (Stock UK O2, IK4 (Android 1.5) Firmware with a plantronics headset).


Basically I turn bluetooth off when I get home, phone is off overnight, so I'm forced to manually turn it on in the morning before I get into the car. Seems to work for me. With this workaround its works well. I dont get the crashes you've reported.

Bluetooth in my car was monumentally bobbins until I asked 'em to see if there was a firmware update available for it when I had the car in for a service. They flashed it and it fixed the BT problems along with a few other quirks the computer was having, so I guess what I'm saying is, don't rule out the car side of the things just because it's a car.
